According to one source, The Raptor tore his Achilles on Friday at a community event in Halifax when attempting a backflip, although the team has not confirmed that. The day-one employee is out for the year after having surgery, although he will appear in vignettes throughout the season. (For a tribute to the genius of The Raptor, please read Zach Lowe’s thoughtful piece on Grantland. All jokes aside, The Raptor is really, really good at his job.)
